X Abstract

The maintenance of the DNA at chromosome ends, the telomeres, depends on conventional semiconservative replication and on the action of telomerase, a specialized reverse transcriptase. Current research strongly suggests a regulatory interplay between this conventional semiconservative replication and telomerase, thus ensuring that no sequences are lost at the very ends of the telomeres during replication. Here, we describe recent findings on the interactions between the conventional replication machinery and telomere replication, and we discuss how DNA-integrity checkpoints might impinge on both the processing of the telomeric DNA ends and the establishment of the DNA end structure required for end protection and genome stability.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
